FACEIT recently added their own rating system, HLTV has their own proprietary rating since forever. Meanwhile we're stuck with an old, basic, and useless "Score" system which is (1) not upto the competitive standards of modern CS, (2) I've never seen anyone talk about nor care about. The word choice is terrible, and the math behind it is outdated, and the same metric used in DM, casual, and competitive modes with minor tweaks:

Steam Community :: Guide :: Lulu's guide to CS2 score calculation

Steam Community :: Official Guide :: How are player score and money awarded?

We need a proper official player rating metric along with a fleshed-out "360 stats" feature. Right now, people use third‑party metrics like Leetify’s Aim Rating, and they end up shaping the community narrative by default. People use those stats all the time to check whether someone is hacking or not, for example. Valve needs to take narrative control back from third party rating systems and establish a proper in-game standard.

QoL suggestion: having an option to show player color dot in the kill-feed would be nice.

Blood particles sometimes appear grey, likely due to being inside fog.

Bug: sometimes the dropped weapons cannot be picked up from the buy menu.

Minor QoL suggestion: would be nice to have some dynamic options for main menu background.

It would be nice to see which stack members have accepted the match.

Minor annoying issue with Win+PgDn/PgUp in FancyZones.

Particles from walls while shooting causes significant visibility issues and should be addressed.

GabeFollower on X: "One of the core issues that remains after the switch from CS:GO to CS2 is the visibility of impacts. The more I watch the major, the more I realise how difficult it is to tell when a bullet has hit something at a long distance. Please update the blood particles @CounterStrike"

Visibility of overhead equipment icons on bright backgrounds should be improved.

Minor QoL suggestion: checkboxes instead of dropdowns would be better and faster for binary (yes/no) settings.

It would be nice if we could save and quickly switch between several crosshairs.

A dedicated ping icon for the defusal kit is missing and should be added.
